Sacramento — Lisa Kawai of Camarillo was 42 years old last year when she finally received a sense of justice for a crime that had tormented her since she was 5.

On Tuesday, she came to the state Capitol in an attempt to ensure that future generations in California will be able to find the same relief.

Kawai testified in support of a bill that would eliminate the statute of limitations for prosecuting sex crimes against a child. Because Florida has such a law, Kawai's uncle last year was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for molestations of family members that he committed decades ago.
